Sounding like a cross between Auto-Tune-abusing T-Pain and The Matrix’s Agent Smith, Carl Sagan describes the natural beauty of the universe in a song called “A Glorious Dawn.” Seeing as how Sagan probably was the most successful science popularizer of all time, this song seems in keeping with his goal of getting the masses to appreciate science.

Barnhard Blog note:

John Boswell is good example of an artist who uses the new media for the distribution of his work.

Recent worrisome BUMA-Stemra (Dutch RIAA) billing announcements may cut-off the Dutch market for artist like John Boswell by simply scaring the hell out of Dutch social media users with sky-rocketing bills for embedding Youtube clips on e.g. weblogs (like non-commercial ones like Barnhard Blog).

Although BUMA-Stemra only aims to bill embedded clips on blogs containing licensed material it is expected that Dutch bloggers will be hesitated/scarred to post any embedded clip containing music, just to be sure …

Update & another John Boswell‘s clip:

Billy Mays – The Auto-tune Infomercial Ballad (ft. the Scatman)

Billy Mays returns from the afterlife to sing about his favorite products, and enlists the also-deceased Scatman John to deliver an auto-tuned & quantized scat-bridge for his song.
